peach raisers OF Delaware. The aver
age cost of shipping peaches to New
York is 26 csnts-two cents for picking
four cents railroad charge, carriage fonr
cents and for commission 10 per cent.
These expenses cannot he cut down. as
the railroads and commission mer-
chants say they are handling fruit at
cut rates now. The only alternative
is to- cut down the truckmen, hut that
can't be done, as they have already de-
cIared they wouldn't stand it. The
growers Of New Jersey and Delaware
expect This wears crop to reach a mil
lion and a half baskets and, as they
cannot afford TO give baskets which
cost on an average eight cents apiece,
away for nothing, something will have
TO be done, or New York and Brook
lyr will get no peaches this summer.
The only plan to settle the matter is
to compromise the matter by having
baskets returned as formerly and where
there are losses instead of the farmer
bearing all let the commission mer-
chants be made to pay for half. The
losses of peach baskets are 80 great be-
cause grocerymen allow customers TO
take baskets home with them and Meth
er one cares whether they are returned
or not. The fault would he remedied
by making the customer pay for the
the basket until it is returned. DR..
Roe's plan is a good ole and the com
mission merchant and retailers would
have no losses which they claim would
he SO heavy if the growers stand togeth
er for the enforcement of the law as
then the retailers will look better af-
ter the returns.

Free Truck Baskets Vs.. DepOs-

The making of Dr.. Roe's bill a law
to compel commission merchants to
make a deposit to secure the return Of
truck baskets will create an i'll conten-
ton of no small proportions. The re-
tail grocers and commission merchants
OF New York have decided that no de-
posits will be paid on peach baskets by
the grocers and that hereafter the
peaches must be shipped in free baskets.
The grocers claim that they cannot af-
ford to lose the money paid for lost bas-
kets, which IN the season averages from
$40 TO S3O0a man.s There are $500 gro
Gerry men, and this meaus an immens
sum-. The cost Of peach baskets varies
from 6 to II cents each and the grow
ers insist that they cannot supply the
baskets free as that would ruin them.

sey would be Messrs, ID. IL. Cummings,

The sturgeon fishermen were SOME
what amused on Monday at the 1iHeS
article, published in another column as
it is certainly ludicrous to those win"
know the facts on the subject, but of
course those who know no better would
would believe that "a sturgeon
net with a fourteen inch mesh will
stop a shad which takes a five inch
mesh to catch it.. Sturgeon do not
come up the river, because they are
caught before they get tothe shad fish
ing grounds. Jerseymen don't care
whether Russians or Arabs eat the
sturgeon so long as they pay a profit
able price to the fishermen for the fish.
About S75. 600 are received each year by
%Jerseymen for sturgeon which is more
tllan the sale of rock fish amounts to
in twenty years. Since the sturgeon
business has grown to be slch an in
dustry the shad fishermen have been
benefited because they are allowed to
use finer Irvine which runs further,
thus allowi g them to have larger nets
and catch more shad without liability
of their nets being torn mp by sUu-
geon.
The up river fishermen have long
talked of some plan to stop fishing
down the river upon the plea that the
fish should be allowed 0 go up the
river to the spawning grounds. If they
are not allowed to spawn they say the
food fish in the Delaware will soon be
extinguished. But the report of Glou-
cester county's fish warden for 1886
and the report which Capt. Samuel
Denny laid before the legislature COM
mittee las year of the number OF shad
taken to market by him for the past IA
years shows that the fish are increas-
ing. The truth ofthe matter is, enough
fish escape the nets down the river to
spawn if they were not caught up the
river. Fish taken from salt water are
much bette than those which have
been long in fresh water, especially
the foul waters near the cities up the
river. Shad when entering the Bay
are not ready to spawn for weeks ul-
til warmer weather comes and they get
in fresh water, just before they
spawn they are more quiet and as the
water is narrower and shoals up the riy-
er where they spawn they are more
easily caught. As fishing is not very
profitable up the river because OF ma
tural disadvantages and also because
the fish should not be disturbed there
were spawn. a law should be passed
prohibiting all fishing above the GlOu-
cester and Camden county line. This
is a much better plan to protect the
shad than to prohibit their being
caught down the river only to be- scoop
ed in by a big seine up the river which
catch every thing down to mimuows.

When Rufus Blodgett waselected l..

with a few Democrats there was "a tor
ced aid labored growing over the report

Raudall's views on the tariff. I am
now and have been always in favor Of
a decided reduction iu the tariff espec-
tally of the present duty on raw mater
terials, which think, is opposed to the
best interests of the country. While /
am not in favor Of absolute free trade,
I do not think it could be much worse
for the laboriug interests than the pres
ent tariff As the RECORD said some
weeks ago it is now clearly apparent
that Mr.. Blodgett has not only down
ed Mr.. Albeit but has also over the
Republicans who elected him. From
a national point of view the election

tit to the Democratic party than MI.
Albeit would have been as be is in ac-
cord with the majority Of his party on
the most important question Congress

if, while Mr.. Albeit is "A follower Of
Mr.. Randall who is receiving the con-
demnation of his party all e the
country for defeating its policy by join
ing the Republicans. Mr.. Blodgett is
an honest straight forward man and
has already asserted his independence
by saying he is no pot house politician.
From a local state point Of view
his election condemns his stand
ing in his party but his views on
public questions like the tariff will do
the party more good than the election
of Mr.. Albeit would have done. For
these reasons all who believe in tariff
reform will be willing to give Mr.,
Bl3dgett encouragement, as that is
the rock on which the Democratic par
ty will split soon, and as MI. Blodgett
is on the right side his star should be
in the ascent.
